Update :)

Hey Everyone , 
Before I start this post I would like to say that I am so sorry that I  haven't been able to make a post on here in almost 2 months. Ever since I finished my school holidays in March I have been so busy studying for end of year exams that I had no time to do anything other than school work .

Anyway , now I'm back , and I'm on my Summer holidays . I have decided that from now on my blog uploading schedule will be less structured , and I will try to post as often as I can , when I am available. I will be on holidays for the whole month of July , but hopefully I will be able to prepare some posts before I go to be uploaded in July.

Hopefully there will be a more interesting post uploaded later today , but if not , there will be definitely a makeup related post tomorrow . 

Thanks for being so understanding and I'm so glad to be back ! 

Happy Tuesday xx :)

January Favourites !

Hey Guys , As today is the last day of January , I thought I would show you a few of the things I have been loving this month. There are only a few things because I have been busy with school this month and I haven't had time to do much shopping :) 

***

I got the Sprinkle of Glitter Diary for Christmas , and I've been using  it since New Years Day . I like writing in Diaries, and I love writing in this even more because of the recipes , advice and motivational pages that are included. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a Diary for 2016. 

I got the Naked 3 palette from my Mam for getting good exam results , and I've been using this palette almost every day since. It has such beautiful shades , and I've already done two posts based on this palette, you should check them out to find out about it in more detail :)

My next January favourite is the Zoella range . I have photographed the Fizz Bar because it is the most photogenic , I also have the lip balm , 3 makeup cases and body scrub . 

Lastly , I have chosen the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation and concealer. I have been using the concealer since early last year , but I bought the foundation in late December , and I've been wearing almost every day since. I plan on doing a full review on them soon.  I have also chosen the Beauty Blender , because it applies foundation evenly and in my opinion , is better than a brush. 

I hope you enjoyed reading what I have been loving this month. Please leave suggestions for posts down below in the comments and subscribe :)

DIY Dry Erase Calendar For Back To School

Hi everyone , as you all know, it is currently the end of August , and usually for most people September means Back To School. Today I have decided to show you how to make a DIY Dry Erase Calendar to help keep you organised this academic year . This is also a collaboration with Niamh (http://beautybud3598.blogspot.co.uk/) , so for another DIY like this , go on to her blog and check it out . Anyway , enough with rambling , Let's Get Started ! 

For this DIY , you will need:

- A pair of scissors

- A photo frame 

-Magazines / Computer Print outs 

-A blank Calendar (A4 works best)

- Glue (PVA or a glue stick work equally well)

The first thing you will need to do is remove the mount from the frame. This is usually a white border inside the frame.  Remove the glass also , then put the backing into the frame. The backing of the frame is what will be the base for the calendar, so this is essential.

Next , take a magazine or print out photos that appeal to you from instagram ,weheartit , etc .
If you don't have a printer , use magazines or old books to cut out photos that are of interest to you. Make sure you print/cut out plenty of images , you will need them to surround the calendar.

You will also need a blank calendar . I chose one and printed it from Google images , but Art and Craft stores should sell them also. A4 size works best with the frame size that I used.

Now stick the calendar to the middle of the frame. I used a glue stick but PVA glue would work just as well.

Arrange the images you have cut out around the calendar . Make sure you are happy with it before you start gluing them down. 

When you are happy with the arrangement , start gluing down the cutouts. Now , all you have to do is place the glass back in the frame and secure the back. 

Voila ! A dry erase calendar to keep you organised this academic year. I think this is great because it has a very personalised touch , and looks appealing in your study space. I hope you enjoyed this post. Please tag me in a photo on instagram / twitter if you make this DIY . 

Happy Sunday x
